State agents allow civilians to harass a family



Around 1:30 pm, Cuban citizen Dailen passed in front of the house of activist Fidel Manuel Miranda Leiva and strongly threatened to kill his family by making a throat-cutting gesture. She then entered a neighboring house from where her husband, Oscar, offended them with blackmailing gestures and kisses, while being encouraged by Anna Karine, Mario and Mrs. Elia, who showed them a machete she had nearby with threatening gestures. According to the victim, these people continued for a long time, passing in front of them, provoking, offending, and threatening them continuously. They also shouted that they were against counter-revolutionaries who did not deserve to live and that at any moment they would put them in prison and take away their children or that they would beat them so badly that not even their mother would recognize them. The victim says that these attacks have worsened in recent days and that they are supervised by the President of the Committee for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR) and the District Delegate, who act under the protection and complicity of agents of the Department of State Security (DSE). At the time of the act of rejection, there were two children in the house, 12 and 13 years old respectively, who were shaking and crying, scared by the scandal they were witnessing in front of the house.
